    Munich Re had around 328,000 shareholders at the end of 2023.

    The implicit dividend commitment of recent decades is now an explicit target of the Munich Re Group Ambition 2025. In “normal” years, the dividend per share is to rise by ≥5% on average, similarly to the increase in earnings per share. In years with unusually high claims expenditure, it is expected that the dividend per share will at least remain the same.

    The dividends are proposed by the Board of Management and based on the financial statement of Münchener Rückversicherungs-AG. The proposed dividend, which is subject to approval by the Supervisory Board and the shareholders, is declared on the day of the AGM.

    The full dividend income of private investors domiciled in Germany will be paid out less a flat-rate tax of 25% (as well as the solidarity surcharge and, where relevant, church tax), unless tax exemption applies. In order to ensure that the tax-exempt allowances (i.e. investment income from interest, dividends and gains on the sale of securities) of €1,000 for single persons or €2,000 for married couples are taken into account, you should complete an exemption application form and submit it to your bank. Investors liable to taxation in Germany with an average tax rate lower than 25% can choose to include this income in their yearly tax declaration and will be reimbursed any excess tax paid after the relevant tax assessment in the following year.
    Foreign private shareholders (i.e. persons neither domiciled nor normally resident in Germany) are subject to limited taxation requirements in Germany in connection with certain investment income. This includes dividends from corporations whose management or seat is located in Germany. Taxation on dividends in Germany is covered by the withholding tax on income. Where a Double Taxation Agreement exists between Germany and the country of residence of the foreign shareholder, the withholding tax on income is generally limited to a maximum of 15% of gross dividend. Normally, there is a standard application procedure. Taxation in the shareholder's country of residence on dividends earned in Germany is subject to the fiscal regulations in the country of residence.
    You are entitled to a dividend on any Munich Re shares which are booked into your deposit on the day of the AGM. As a precaution please contact your bank. Due to a change in corporate law beginning 2017 the payment of the dividend by the company, will normally be effected, the decision of the AGM assumed, three banking days after the AGM.
    In accordance with the resolution adopted by the AGM on 2 July 1999, the Company no longer issues effective certificates; accordingly, there are only very few effective certificates in circulation. The stock exchanges trade exclusively in Munich Re shares through the giro transfer system.
    Unfortunately not. Now virtually all the Munich Re shares are traded on the giro transfer system for securities. As there are practically no historical securities from share certificate exchanges, we unfortunately have no non-valeurs to offer.
    In 2023 the average daily trading volume was around 297,000 shares.
